Weingut Dr Loosen

The Dr. Loosen estate has been in the same family for over 200 years. When Ernst Loosen (pronounced loh-zen) assumed ownership in 1988, he realized that with ungrafted vines averaging 60 years old in some of Germany’s best-rated vineyards, he had the raw materials to create stunningly intense, world-class wines.
To achieve this, Ernst dramatically reduced his crop size and stopped all chemical fertilization, preferring only moderate use of organic fertilizers. And, most importantly, he turned to gentler cellar practices that allow the wine to develop its full potential with a minimum of handling and technological meddling.

Wonderful as always and it's one of my perennial favorites and it's always in my cellar. A perfect sipper for anytime. Green apples, stone fruit and that great Mosel terrior combine with great acidity and schisty minerality to leave you wanting more....

Pours a bright, clear golden color. Very light fragrance on the nose. Some aromas of apples, pears and minerals. Starts off with a sweet taste of green apples. In the middle there is some minerality to balance the sweet taste, but the green apples ...

Dr. Loosen has attached his revered surname to this introductory wine and it almost never disappoints for value; this vintage is no exception - this slightly off-dry Mosel is a cut above the usual with a nice pear-like scent and apple-pear flavours. Y...

Upon first sniff I immediately felt like I had been belted across the face by a giant candy cane. The deeply saturated mint extract components on this wine are amazing, and the way that they mingle in this enveloping cocktail of petrol and d...

As usual this was a superb example of how to take great grapes, make a ton of great wine and price it a price that everyone can enjoy. Green apples, citrus and lemon dominate the nose and palate leading to a wonderful finish that is both lengthy and mo...

Sweet Riesling - off dry really, but its very noticeable. The sweetness is balanced by some very clear acidity, this gives the wine a lime and quince taste. Very mineral as well. A very clean, tart wine, especially considering its off dry. Nice.

Dr. Loosen's entry-level Riesling is a highly quaffable summer tippler - perfect, in fact to accompany those less heady reading moments under the sunscreen. Good citrus and apple on the nose with a hint of sharpness that bears out in the tasting. Ni...

This acclaimed Mittelmosel commune (Ürzig) produces a spicy, sometimes spritz-like, wine from the Grosse Lage vineyard known as Würzgarten. This wine is bursting with candied fruit on the nose... apple, lime and floss; the granny smith apple and prickly finish make for a delicious, semi-sweet treat. Excellent value and overall quality. 91.

Weingut Dr. Loosen has produced a magnificent Spatlese from the Wehlener Sonnenuhr Weinberge; the nose evinces some light cake spice plus sweet apple pie and icing sugar; aging has been slight, as the palate shows rich pear and apple sweetness that refreshes as much as it lingers. Will last another 20 years. 92 points.

Intriguing cool tropical fruit aromas with banana, papaya and melon and floral notes of rose petal and honeysuckle. Brightly acidic in the mouth and leading with green apple and pear flavors, a hint of melon and a finish that's ever so slightly creamy with notes of lemon zest.

Dr. Loosen has attached his revered surname to this introductory wine and it almost never disappoints for value; this vintage is no exception - this slightly off-dry Mosel is a cut above the usual with a nice pear-like scent and apple-pear flavours. You could drink this all night at the appropriate (possibly youthful) venue. Good Mosel template...
